Jamaica’s six-year reign as champions of the Caribbean Golf Association’s 4-Ball Championship has come to an end, with the country finishing second at the seventh staging of the tournament in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Bahamas claimed the Ambrose Gouthro Cup with 88 points, pulling ahead of Jamaica, which finished with 71 points.

Trinidad and Tobago placed third with 65 points.

Despite losing the overall title, Jamaica secured victories in two of the six categories.

Dr. Mark Newnham and Owen Samuda retained the Francis Steele Perkins Trophy, finishing two-under-par with a combined score of 214.

Radcliffe Knibbs and Keith Stein also captured the Super Seniors title and the Higgs and Higgs Cup.

Jamaica recorded second-place finishes in the women’s category and third-place finishes in two other divisions, despite challenging windy conditions.
